  • 본 연구의 목적은 고등학교 교육과정에서 활용할 수 있는 가정교과 기반의 예비부모교육 프로그램을 개발하고 평가하여, 예비부모인 고등학생 학습자들이 훗날 우리 사회의 주역이 될 미래세대를 현명하게 보살필 수 있는 성숙한 부모가 되는데 필요한 역량을 갖추도록 하며 동시에 현재 정부가 추진하고 있는 부모교육 활성화 방안의 청소년 대상 예비부모교육을 실행하는 데 도움이 되는 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 본 연구의 예비부모교육프로그램 개발 및 평가 과정은 일반적체제설계모형인 ADDIE 모형을 따랐으며, ADDIE모형 중 실행단계(Implement)를 제외한 분석, 설계, 개발, 평가의 4가지 과정을 거쳐 이루어졌다. 먼저, 분석 단계에서는 프로그램 내용요소 추출과 프로그램 개발의 시사점을 얻기 위해 관련 선행연구와 2015 개정 중 고등학교 "기술 가정" 교육과정 문서를 대상으로 분석이 이루어졌다. 그 결과 가정교과 이 외의 분야에서 연구되어 온 예비부모교육의 9 가지 주제(1.자기이해, 2.예비부모의 성, 3.결혼, 4.임신과 출산, 5.부모됨, 6.부모역할, 7.부모 자녀관계, 8.부모와 가족, 9.부모와 사회)와 해당 내용요소들은 이미 가정교과 교육과정에 모두 포함되어 있음을 확인하였으며, 9가지 주제 이외에 가정교과만의 독자적인 주제(1.생애설계, 2.가정생활 내 의 식 주 실천역량, 3.가정생활과 자녀안전, 4.가족문화)와 해당 내용요소들을 별도로 확인함으로써 예비부모교육 시행에 있어 가정교과가 지닌 강점(청소년과 가정과 사회를 바라보며 부모교육 내용 뿐만 아니라 식 의 주 소비 생활 전반을 포함하는 총체적 관점의 교육과 실제로 부모 준비를 실천하게 하는 교육)을 확인하였다. 둘째, 프로그램 개발을 위한 설계는 가정교과와 예비부모교육 간의 접점을 찾고 이를 프로그램 구성요소(목적, 개발방향, 주제, 내용요소, 학습목표, 학습활동)에 반영하는 과정을 통해 이루어졌다. 이 연구의 예비부모교육 프로그램은 미래세대를 현명하게 길러낼 수 있는 성숙한 부모가 지녀야 할 관련 지식, 태도, 가치관, 실천적 문제 해결 능력을 고등학생 학습자가 갖추도록 지원하는 것을 일차 목적으로 두며, 부모됨의 준비 관점에서 학습자가 현재 생활 점검 및 개선을 통해 생활자립능력을 갖추도록 하는 것을 이차목적으로 둔다. 궁극적으로 이 두 가지 목적 달성을 통해 학습자가 장차 부모로서 살아갈 가정생활 영역과 개인적 성취와 관련된 직업생활 영역 그리고 사회 발전에 기여할 수 있는 민주시민으로서의 삶의 영역간의 균형을 이뤄 이를 조화롭게 영위할 수 있는 성숙한 부모로의 성장을 돕고자 하였다. 프로그램 개발방향은 '전체 전개', '내용구성', '교수 학습법 구성'으로 크게 세 가지 측면에서 설정되었다. 프로그램의 주제는 총 11개로 '1. 부모 됨: 부모가 된다는 건', '2. 배우자선택: 행복한 부부관계, 자녀에게 주는 최고의 선물', '3. 임신과 출산: 새로운 생명과의 감동적인 만남', '4. 신생아 돌봄: 24시간 신생아 돌봄', '5. 영유아자녀돌봅: 사랑스러운 나의 아기와의 관계, 애착', '6. 유아기 자녀 돌봄: 별에서 온 내 아이, 유아기 자녀 돌보기', '7. 부모와 건강가정: 건강가정 속 부모와 자녀', '8.부모 자녀 관계: 현명한 부모, 자녀와 효과적으로 상호작용하기', '9. 가정생활 내 자녀안전: 가정생활 속 안전관리자, 부모', '10. 영유아 돌봄 실습', '11. 지역사회 양육지원서비스 개발 실습'이다. 프로그램의 들어갈 최종 내용요소들은 분석단계에서 추출된 내용요소들을 11개 주제와의 관련성을 토대로 분배된 후 선정되었다. 학습목표와 학습활동은 해당 주제와 내용요소를 반영하여 구상되었으며, 특히 프로그램의 학습활동은 1) 부모 됨 관련 실천적 문제를 포함한 사례 활용, 2) 학습한 지식과 기술을 활용한 지역사회 교류활동, 3) 부모 됨 관련 학습내용을 활용한 실생활 프로젝트 활동, 4) 고등학생 학습자의 현재 삶의 긍정적인 변화를 유도하는 활동, 그리고 5) 자녀 발달을 지원하는 가정교과 내 의 식 주 실습활동을 주요 특징으로 한다. 셋째, 프로그램의 개발은 앞서 설정된 설계에 따라 이루어졌으며, 이에 총 11개 주제에 따른 17차시 분량에 해당하는 교수 학습과 정안 및 학습자료가 개발되었다. 개발된 교수 학습과정안은 수업흐름 및 교사 참고자료를 포함하며, 수업 도입부에 가상의 자녀로부터 수업관련 메시지를 받는 것을 시작으로, 정리단계에서는 받은 메시지에 대한 답장의 형태로 해당 차시의 내용 정리 및 예비부모로서의 다짐을 하는 것을 기본 틀로 하였다. 학습자료는 학습활동을 위해 필요한 각종 계획서나 보고서 양식을 포함하며, 정규교육과정에서의 교과서와 같은 역할을 하도록 구체적으로 작성되었다. 넷째, 개발된 프로그램의 평가는 프로그램 개발과정과 결과물 두 가지 측면에 대해 가정교과 전문가 13인으로부터 5점 리커트형 설문지를 활용하여 이루어졌다. 개발과정에 대한 기초분석 평가결과 평균 4.61점, 내용타당도 지수 97.4%였으며, 프로그램 결과물에 대한 평가결과는 평균 4.37점 내용타당도 지수 86.9%였다. 이와 같은 값은 이 연구 프로그램의 개발과정과 그 결과물에 대한 타당도가 상당히 높은 수준에서 확보됐음을 나타내며, 이에 이 연구의 가정교과 기반의 예비부모교육 프로그램은 고등학생 학습자를 대상으로 하는 예비 부모 교육 프로그램으로 타당하고 적합하다는 결론을 내릴 수 있다.

  • 영화 <모란봉>은 1958년, 아르망 가티, 크리스 마커, 클로드 란츠만, 프랑시스 르마르크, 장 클로드 보나르도가 조선필름의 초청으로 떠났던 북한 여행의 산물이다. 그러나 여러 정치적인 이유로 영화는 바로 개봉되지 못했고, 2010년에야 다시 발굴되어 주목을 받았다. 영화는 한국전쟁을 배경으로 한 영란과 동일의 서사가 저 멀리 조선의 고전 춘향전 속 춘향과 몽룡의 서사와 포개어지는 구성을 취하고 있다. 이때 조선의 고전은 두 주인공의 서사와 시간대를 공유하는 극중극 <춘향전>의 형태로 재현되며, 두 서사는 총 6개 장면에서 포개어진다. 영화에는 두 겹의 중층적인 액자가 존재하는데, 1950년대의 북한을 배경으로 펼쳐지는 영란과 동일의 서사가 가장 바깥에 있다면, 그 안에 창극 <춘향전>의 제작진과 배우들이 만들어 가는 서사가 있고, 가장 안쪽에 온전한 작품으로서의 창극 <춘향전>이 배치된다. 영화 가장 바깥의 액자에서는 동일이 주인공이지만, 안쪽 두 겹의 액자에서는 창극 <춘향전>과 함께 성장하는 배우이자 창극 <춘향전>의 등장인물인 영란이 중심이다. 다음 이 영화의 OST 음반으로는 프랑스에서 1960년 발매된 , 1970년 발매된 , 그리고 일본에서 1968년 발매된 <朝鮮の伝統音樂-唱劇 「春香伝」と伝統樂器-> 3종이 있다. 은 영화 <모란봉>의 음악으로만 구성된 반면, 이후 나온 두 음반은 평양국립방송을 통해 수집 및 녹음한 곡을 추가로 포함하였다. 다만 일본에서 발매된 음반에는 영화 <모란봉>에 관한 정보가 전혀 남아 있지 않다. 정황상 음반사나 음반 해설지의 필자도 영화 <모란봉>의 존재를 미처 확인하지 못했을 가능성이 크며, 영화의 개봉 자체가 금지되었던 배경 때문에 의도적으로 관련 내용을 배제한 것일 수도 있다. 본고에서 영화 <모란봉> 또는 OST 음반에 수록된 창극 <춘향전>의 세부 장면 <이별가>, <십장가>, <춘당시과>, <박석티>, <옥중가>를 분석한 결과를 1950년대 북한 창극계의 변화와 관련해 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 1950년대 북한 창극 <춘향전>의 정립 과정을 확인하였다. 1955년에 『조선창극집』을 통해 정리된 희곡이 1956년~1958년 사이 『조선민족음악전집(창극 및 민족가극편)1: 창극 <춘향전>(초고)』에 이르러 실연 가능한 창극 형태로 정착하였고, 영화와 음반에 수록된 부분은 1950년대 말 그 완성판의 한 예시에 해당한다. 1960년대 이후 <춘향전>은 더 이상 기존의 판소리식 창극으로 공연되지 않았기에, 영화 <모란봉>과 음반 은 창극 <춘향전>과 그 음악을 오롯이 담아낸 거의 마지막 기록물이 된다. 둘째, 1950년대 북한 창극계의 탁성 논쟁과 관련한 창극 배우들의 대응 양상을 확인하였다. 1959년까지도 북한에서는 탁성을 둘러싼 비판의 목소리와 이것도 민족적 특징이라는 옹호의 목소리가 어느 정도 공존했다. 맑고 높은 성음의 구사로 탁성 제거에 일정한 성과를 보인 신우선, 분명한 변화를 보이지만 상황에 따라 발성을 달리한 공기남, 탁성을 적극적으로 제거하지는 않았으나 그것이 겉으로 드러나지 않는 배역을 선택한 조상선, 당이 요구하는 발성법을 일부 수용하면서도 자기 원 음색을 유지하고자 하였던 임소향, 이들의 판단과 대처는 영화 <모란봉>과 음반 속 소리에도 오롯이 반영되어 있었다. 한편 조상선과 임소향은 그들의 소리를 계속 해 나갈 수 있는 배역을 보장받았지만, 영화 <모란봉>에 나타난 선택/배제의 양상은 이와 별개로 1950년대 월북국악인들에게 요구되었던 탁성 제거 지침과 그대로 연결된다.

  • This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.

  • Much has teed changed in the field of hospital administration in the It wake of the rapid development of sciences, techniques ana systematic hospital management. However, we still have a long way to go in organization, in the quality of hospital employees and hospital equipment and facilities, and in financial support in order to achieve proper hospital management. The above factors greatly effect the ability of hospitals to fulfill their obligation in patient care and nursing services. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal methods of standardization and quality nursing so as to improve present nursing services through investigations and analyses of various problems concerning nursing administration. This study has been undertaken during the six month period from October 1971 to March 1972. The 41 comprehensive hospitals have been selected iron amongst the 139 in the whole country. These have been categorized according-to the specific purposes of their establishment, such as 7 university hospitals, 18 national or public hospitals, 12 religious hospitals and 4 enterprise ones. The following conclusions have been acquired thus far from information obtained through interviews with nursing directors who are in charge of the nursing administration in each hospital, and further investigations concerning the purposes of establishment, the organization, personnel arrangements, working conditions, practices of service, and budgets of the nursing service department. 1. The nursing administration along with its activities in this country has been uncritical1y adopted from that of the developed countries. It is necessary for us to re-establish a new medical and nursing system which is adequate for our social environments through continuous study and research. 2. The survey shows that the 7 university hospitals were chiefly concerned with education, medical care and research; the 18 national or public hospitals with medical care, public health and charity work; the 2 religious hospitals with medical care, charity and missionary works; and the 4 enterprise hospitals with public health, medical care and charity works. In general, the main purposes of the hospitals were those of charity organizations in the pursuit of medical care, education and public benefits. 3. The survey shows that in general hospital facilities rate 64 per cent and medical care 60 per-cent against a 100 per cent optimum basis in accordance with the medical treatment law and approved criteria for training hospitals. In these respects, university hospitals have achieved the highest standards, followed by religious ones, enterprise ones, and national or public ones in that order. 4. The ages of nursing directors range from 30 to 50. The level of education achieved by most of the directors is that of graduation from a nursing technical high school and a three year nursing junior college; a very few have graduated from college or have taken graduate courses. 5. As for the career tenure of nurses in the hospitals: one-third of the nurses, or 38 per cent, have worked less than one year; those in the category of one year to two represent 24 pet cent. This means that a total of 62 per cent of the career nurses have been practicing their profession for less than two years. Career nurses with over 5 years experience number only 16 per cent: therefore the efficiency of nursing services has been rated very low. 6. As for the standard of education of the nurses: 62 per cent of them have taken a three year course of nursing in junior colleges, and 22 per cent in nursing technical high schools. College graduate nurses come up to only 15 per cent; and those with graduate course only 0.4 per cent. This indicates that most of the nurses are front nursing technical high schools and three year nursing junior colleges. Accordingly, it is advisable that nursing services be divided according to their functions, such as professional, technical nurses and nurse's aides. 7. The survey also shows that the purpose of nursing service administration in the hospitals has been regulated in writing in 74 per cent of the hospitals and not regulated in writing in 26 per cent of the hospitals. The general purposes of nursing are as follows: patient care, assistance in medical care and education. The main purpose of these nursing services is to establish proper operational and personnel management which focus on in-service education. 8. The nursing service departments belong to the medical departments in almost 60 per cent of the hospitals. Even though the nursing service department is formally separated, about 24 per cent of the hospitals regard it as a functional unit in the medical department. Only 5 per cent of the hospitals keep the department as a separate one. To the contrary, approximately 12 per cent of the hospitals have not established a nursing service department at all but surbodinate it to the other department. In this respect, it is required that a new hospital organization be made to acknowledge the independent function of the nursing department. In 76 per cent of the hospitals they have advisory committees under the nursing department, such as a dormitory self·regulating committee, an in-service education committee and a nursing procedure and policy committee. 9. Personnel arrangement and working conditions of nurses 1) The ratio of nurses to patients is as follows: In university hospitals, 1 to 2.9 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 4.0 for out-patients; in religious hospitals, 1 to 2.3 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 5.4 for out-patients. Grouped together this indicates that one nurse covers 2.2 hospitalized patients and 4.3 out-patients on a daily basis. The current medical treatment law stipulates that one nurse should care for 2.5 hospitalized patients or 30.0 out-patients. Therefore the statistics indicate that nursing services are being peformed with an insufficient number of nurses to cover out-patients. The current law concerns the minimum number of nurses and disregards the required number of nurses for operation rooms, recovery rooms, delivery rooms, new-born baby rooms, central supply rooms and emergency rooms. Accordingly, tile medical treatment law has been requested to be amended. 2) The ratio of doctors to nurses: In university hospitals, the ratio is 1 to 1.1; in national of public hospitals, 1 to 0.8; in religious hospitals 1 to 0.5; and in private hospitals 1 to 0.7. The average ratio is 1 to 0.8; generally the ideal ratio is 3 to 1. Since the number of doctors working in hospitals has been recently increasing, the nursing services have consequently teen overloaded, sacrificing the services to the patients. 3) The ratio of nurses to clerical staff is 1 to 0.4. However, the ideal ratio is 5 to 1, that is, 1 to 0.2. This means that clerical personnel far outnumber the nursing staff. 4) The ratio of nurses to nurse's-aides; The average 2.5 to 1 indicates that most of the nursing service are delegated to nurse's-aides owing to the shortage of registered nurses. This is the main cause of the deterioration in the quality of nursing services. It is a real problem in the guest for better nursing services that certain hospitals employ a disproportionate number of nurse's-aides in order to meet financial requirements. 5) As for the working conditions, most of hospitals employ a three-shift day with 8 hours of duty each. However, certain hospitals still use two shifts a day. 6) As for the working environment, most of the hospitals lack welfare and hygienic facilities. 7) The salary basis is the highest in the private university hospitals, with enterprise hospitals next and religious hospitals and national or public ones lowest. 8) Method of employment is made through paper screening, and further that the appointment of nurses is conditional upon the favorable opinion of the nursing directors. 9) The unemployment ratio for one year in 1971 averaged 29 per cent. The reasons for unemployment indicate that the highest is because of marriage up to 40 per cent, and next is because of overseas employment. This high unemployment ratio further causes the deterioration of efficiency in nursing services and supplementary activities. The hospital authorities concerned should take this matter into a jeep consideration in order to reduce unemployment. 10) The importance of in-service education is well recognized and established. 1% has been noted that on the-job nurses. training has been most active, with nursing directors taking charge of the orientation programs of newly employed nurses. However, it is most necessary that a comprehensive study be made of instructors, contents and methods of education with a separate section for in-service education. 10.
